Senior Instructors Barry Lovett 5th Dan and Sarah Padget 4th Dan have over 50 years experience of teaching between them. We teach Wado Ryu Karate, an art which brings out the best in you. You learn karate at your own pace and you will benefit from increased confidence, fitness, skill levels and self defence. Children particularly benefit from all these aspects plus self discipline which helps in all parts of daily life.
Formed in 2009 by our senior instructors, CMA Karate follows the principles of the founder of Wado Ryu Karate.
The practice of karate is a challenge and at CMA Karate we meet that challenge through our unique program. The physical aspects of karate promote fitness, health, character and sportsmanship whilst challenging the mind to focus on the core values of respect, discipline, honesty & integrity. This allows our students to develop into valued members of society accountable for their own development and actions. Students of karate are more likely to achieve well in education, work and in everyday life.
Our program covers the Wado Ryu system of karate which encompasses self defence, awareness, confidence, self control. The physical aspects of karate are critical, but without developing character are meaningless.
Our classes are targeted at different age groups and ability levels and are goal based through our grading system. The challenges in the dojo are reflected in our grading procedures which are demanding yet achievable and rewarding. This encourages the students to set and realise their own personal goals and achieve their full potential.
